Halloween in-an-instant via your cosmetics drawer

Are you indifferent about buying a Halloween costume, yet you don’t want to be that party pooper who shows up to a costume gala in your regular street clothes?  We got some great last-minute fixes from TheFrisky.com: do up the cosmetics and make that serve as the basis for your costume. You probably already own most of the necessary products to create a Barbie or Cleopatra. This Lady Gaga video makeup tutorial might require a bit more work, but the results are very impressive!  Check out some more last-minute makeup ideas compiled by the writers at top five women's interest and lifestyle site TheFrisky.com!

1.  “Twilight” fans rejoice!  Here’s a way to get a “sexy vampire” look. We’re loving the creative use of fishnet stockings and eyeshadow to create a patterned look. So smart!

3. If you have a wig or the hair to style a Cleopatra-esque ‘do, check out these beauty instructions to complete the look. Don’t have a wig? We’re loving the distinct OTT combo of gold eyeshadow and black liner designs and would try rocking it as a Grecian goddess with slicked-back hair.

4. Here’s a great one for brunettes—a 1920s-era silent film star. Smoke up your eyes, create a dark, rounded pout, and you’ll look like you popped off the black and white screen.
